It doesn't have to be cygwin,it just needs to run .sh files. The .sh files might do some command line and string parsing and grep stuff that might be hard to replicate in Ant without making custom Ant tasks. >Well I would like to reduce the amount of dependencies needed to build >flex.

Mustella already has a watchdog, but it doesn't always work. In the Mustella source is a C app that used to work on Windows, but I haven't tried it in a long time. Because C requires yet another compiler and there is no Mac version I have not tried make it work. -Alex
